Temptation Beyond The Soul

#9

Lisa

The sun beautifully shone through my window, causing me to cover my eyes. Today is one of the best days of the year.

I got up from out the bed and walked up to my mirror. I opened the drawer and took out some basketball shorts to put over my boxers. Then I walked into the bathroom, wet my rag and washed my face and brushed my teeth.

When I was done, I walked into the livingroom to see presents under our tree. I knew that I wasn't going to stay long because I had to go see Tupac and give him his gift. Then I had to go see Tionne.

I walked into my dad's room and shook him. His eyes batted open slowly. He smiled at me and sat up in the bed.

"Merry Christmas Lisa." He swung his legs off of the bed and we walked back into the livingroom. My dad sat on the couch, while I sat on the floor.

The first one I saw was a blue wrapped present with candy canes on it. It was small, so I opened it first. I quickly peeled off the wrapping and saw a blue, keepsake journal in there. That was one of the things I wanted, and I smiled at it. I had ran out of pages in my other notebook.

"Thanks daddy." He smiled and nodded. I went to the next gift that was tall and rectangular. I ripped off the wrapping and saw a box with a mic stand in it. I smiled and hugged the box. It's suppose to go with the keyboard that hopefully Tupac is getting me.

"Thanks daddy!" I hugged him and slid on my timberlands and put my jacket on.

"I'm going to Ti's. I'll be back later to open my presents." My dad nodded his head and I walked towards the phone and dialed Tupac's number. Within three rings it was answered.

"Hello?" He asked while yawning. I rolled my eyes and leaned into the door frame.

"Get up big head. It's Christmas. I'll be there in a minute."

"Alright, see you in a minute Lefteye."

I rose my eyebrow and shrugged my shoulders.

"Whatever."

The phone hung up over the line and I placed it back on the hook. Then I ran upstairs and grabbed the bag filled with everyone's presents.

I ran downstairs and began walking to Tupac's house.

Everyone had a gift and a card in my box. I had gotten Tupac a chain with a T hanging from it. Tionne had a Kani hoodie . T'anni and Kierra got a CD player, for them to share. Britney got a purse and So did Faith. My gifts were kind of slacked but I had to use most of my money for that chain.

I turned the corner and ran through the cut, then jumped onto the fence and climbed over it. I had to tell my dad that I was going to Ti's house because we live in the same neighborhood. My dad doesn't like me going through this cut to see Tupac. It's the most dangerous part of the hood.

I landed safely on my feet then began running out of the alley as fast as I can until I was out of it, and in the middle if Tupac's street. I walked down the sidewalk with my hands shoved in my pockets.

I finally got to his house and walked up his doorstep and knocked on the door. He opened it with his shirt off and I pushed past him. He closed the door behind me.

"Damn, I can't get no love?" I chuckled and hugged him and pecked his lips. Then I pulled away.

"Merry Christmas Paccy boo boo!" I yelled.

"Merry Christmas Five Head!" He yelled. I stale faced him and punched his arm.

"Goddamn! That shit hurt!" I plopped on his couch and flicked him off.
